A recent nationwide poll shows Donald J. Trump holding a slim positive approval rating among likely voters — about 50% approving his performance compared with 46% disapproving. Meanwhile, the data indicates a troubling trend for Republican Party as support among independent voters erodes sharply. The survey suggests that on a generic congressional ballot, Democrats are modestly ahead of Republicans, helped primarily by gains among independents, Hispanics, suburban voters, and women. Independents in the poll expressed significantly less support for the GOP’s agenda and were more skeptical of major legislative efforts than core Republican voters. Although Trump maintains solid backing among…

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS — the third such object ever recorded to enter our solar system from beyond — has been declared the formal target of an international planetary-defense exercise coordinated under global agencies. Launched last July by the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile, 3I/ATLAS follows a hyperbolic trajectory that confirms its origin outside the solar system. Unlike the typical comets bound to the Sun, its orbit makes a one-time swing through our system before heading back into interstellar space. Though scientists emphasize the comet poses no threat to Earth — its closest approach will still be hundreds of millions…
In a forceful public address, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi sharply criticized liberal lawmakers and media figures for what she called a wave of hostile rhetoric toward National Guard troops, blaming that discourse for potentially encouraging the recent attack on servicemembers in Washington, D.C. Bondi described the comments as “disgusting” and warned that federal prosecutors would scrutinize whether any public statements crossed the line into incitement. She promised to pursue the maximum penalty against the alleged shooter, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, while calling on supporters to back law-enforcement and military personnel rather than denigrate them. Her remarks came in response…
A major labor protest outside Los Angeles International Airport brought Thanksgiving travel to a crawl, forcing frustrated travelers to abandon their vehicles and walk to their terminals as traffic ground to a complete stop. The demonstration, organized by airline catering workers involved in a wage and labor dispute, blocked key access points along Century Boulevard and disrupted the airport’s main pickup and drop-off zones. The standstill left cars frozen in place for long stretches, with some passengers hauling luggage on foot to avoid missing their flights. Police in riot gear eventually moved in to clear the road, restoring traffic after…
Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden were photographed side by side in Nantucket this week, marking their first public outing together since the former president left the White House earlier this year. The pair was seen walking through the island’s downtown area accompanied by family members, including Hunter’s children and Ashley Biden. They visited local shops, greeted passersby, and paused briefly to listen to a street performer, with Joe Biden offering a tip before giving a thumbs-up to onlookers. During the trip, the family stopped for lunch at a nearby café before splitting up for the rest of their…
A 29-year-old Afghan national has been taken into custody after a violent ambush in downtown Washington, D.C., that left two West Virginia National Guard soldiers fighting for their lives just blocks from the White House. The attack unfolded near 17th and I Streets NW, close to a busy metro stop, where the soldiers were on routine patrol. Investigators say the suspect, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, opened fire on the guardsmen in what officials are calling a targeted assault. A nearby guard returned fire, wounding the attacker before he was subdued and arrested. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.…
Authorities have identified 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal as the man accused of shooting two West Virginia National Guard members in a daylight attack just steps from the White House. Investigators say the ambush unfolded near the Farragut West area, where the soldiers were conducting a routine patrol. Lakanwal allegedly approached the guardsmen and opened fire, striking both before a nearby service member returned shots and brought the gunman down. He was taken into custody with non-life-threatening injuries. The wounded guardsmen were rushed to the hospital in critical condition, prompting an immediate surge in security around central Washington. Multiple federal agencies are…
Georgia has formally shut down the long-running 2020 election-interference case against former President Donald Trump after the newly assigned prosecutor moved to dismiss all charges. Special prosecutor Pete Skandalakis argued that the case faced insurmountable legal hurdles, including questions about jurisdiction and whether many of the alleged actions belonged under federal rather than state authority. He also highlighted significant delays and procedural complications that undermined the viability of continuing the prosecution. Judge Scott McAfee approved the request, dismissing the indictment in full. The decision closes the racketeering-based case that once targeted Trump and multiple co-defendants over their efforts to challenge…
A federal appeals court has affirmed that Donald J. Trump and his former lawyer Alina Habba must pay nearly $1 million after filing a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, James Comey and others — concluding the legal action qualified as a “frivolous” abuse of the justice system. Originally filed in 2022, the case alleged a broad conspiracy tied to the 2016 election. The court dismissed the complaint and imposed sanctions in 2023. In its latest ruling, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld both the dismissal and the financial penalty, rejecting arguments that the original filing had any merit. Judges…
President Donald Trump has ordered an extra 500 National Guard troops into Washington, D.C., following the shooting that left two guardsmen critically wounded near the White House. The decision was announced shortly after officials labeled the attack a targeted ambush. The two soldiers, members of the West Virginia National Guard, were patrolling near 17th and I Streets NW when a gunman opened fire. The suspect was shot and taken into custody, while both guardsmen were rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Defense officials said the reinforcement is intended to strengthen security around key areas of the capital and support…
A 38-year-old attorney from Miami Lakes, identified as Phillip Andrew Ortiz, stands charged following a violent altercation aboard the Norwegian Encore cruise ship on November 22, 2025. The confrontation began when a 67-year-old man reportedly told Ortiz that a hallway was off-limits. According to the arrest report, Ortiz responded by pushing the older passenger and later forced his way into the restricted corridor — even after the man tried to close the door. The encounter escalated into a physical struggle during which the victim was tripped, struck his head, and was rendered unconscious under Ortiz’s full body weight. Passengers and…
MSNBC faced criticism after one of its daytime programs delivered a segment on the Washington, D.C. shooting that left two National Guard soldiers critically wounded — and included remarks viewers said downplayed the severity of the attack. During the broadcast, the anchor discussed the ambush near the White House in which a lone gunman opened fire on guardsmen patrolling near the Farragut West area. The suspect was wounded and taken into custody, while both soldiers were rushed to the hospital in critical condition. The network’s segment quickly drew attention when the host referenced the incident in a tone that critics…
President Donald Trump erupted in a social-media post Wednesday, lashing out at a journalist from The New York Times after her report suggested his schedule and energy levels have noticeably waned. The article observed that the president has cut back domestic travel and public appearances compared with earlier in his first term. It also referenced a moment in which the president appeared to nod off during an official event. Rather than address the concerns substantively, Trump dismissed the reporting as part of a “hit piece,” and singled out one of the authors, calling her “ugly, both inside and out” and…
In a recent podcast appearance, Marty Makary — now leading the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — leveled a serious accusation: he insists that long-time public health official Anthony Fauci engineered a “massive cover-up” to hide the true origins of COVID-19. According to Makary, Fauci played a central role in commissioning a 2020 scientific report that dismissed the theory that the virus leaked from a lab — a theory that Makary argues was earlier supported by several virologists behind closed doors. Makary claims those scientists later reversed their public stance after being pressured and after receiving funding — effectively…
At a recent campaign event in California, singer Tish Hyman confronted gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell, demanding that he clearly state whether biological men should be allowed in women’s locker rooms. Hyman pressed Swalwell directly, referencing a prior incident involving her at a Los Angeles gym — she said a transgender woman allegedly exposed himself in the women’s locker room, prompting her removal from the gym. Swalwell refused to give a direct yes-or-no answer. Instead, he said he opposed harassment in locker rooms broadly, but did not confirm whether he supported or opposed transgender women using female-only spaces. Frustrated by what…
